H-1B Faculty
H-1B visa status allows foreign nationals to come to the U.S. to teach or do research in a specialty occupation. A specialty occupation is one that requires theoretical and practical application of specialized knowledge. Specialty occupations include lecturers, professors and researchers and need at least a bachelor's degree.
